Costilla Reservoir is located in Costilla, New Mexico and was completed in 1969. The reservoir has a storage capacity of 10,000 acre-feet and is supplied by the Costilla Creek. The reservoir is managed by the Costilla Irrigation District for agricultural purposes, with the water being used for irrigation of crops like alfalfa, oats, and corn. The reservoir is also used for recreational purposes, including fishing, camping, and boating.
